 BURDER, HENRY FORSTER, D.D. (1783–1864), nonconformist divine, eldest son of the Rev. George Burder [q. v.], and brother of Thomas Harrison Burder [q. v.], was born 27 Nov. 1783, at Coventry. He was articled in 1798 to a wholesale firm of Nottingham and London. In London he attended the Weigh-house Chapel, and decided to devote himself to the ministry. Accordingly he became a student in Hoxton Academy, and in 1804 entered the university of Glasgow, where he took his M.A. degree in 1807, and subsequently that of D.D. After his graduation Burder became classical tutor at Wymondley College; resigned this appointment in 1808; was (31 Oct. 1811) assistant to the Rev. Samuel Palmer of St. Thomas's Square Congregational Chapel, Hackney, and on Palmer's death was ordained to his pastorate on 2 March 1814. From 1810 he also filled the chair of philosophy and mathematics at Hoxton College till its removal to Highbury in 1830. He was chairman of the Congregational Union in 1844. He remained at Hackney till 1852. He delivered on 26 Dec. 1852, and afterwards published, ‘A Pastor's Farewell,’ 8vo, London, 1853. His congregation presented him with a purse of 1,000l., wherewith a Burder scholarship was founded at New College, London.

Burder was twice married: first, in 1810, to Ann, eldest daughter of Joseph Hardcastle of Hatcham House, New Cross, London, who died in 1827, leaving a daughter and three sons; and secondly, in 1833, to Mary, eldest daughter of the Rev. J. Tayler of Whitlinge, Worcestershire, who died in 1851. He afterwards lived in the house of his eldest son at Hatcham Park, where he died 29 Dec. 1864.

Besides many sermons separately printed in various collections the principal works published by Burder were: 1. ‘The Scripture Character of God, or Discourses on the Divine Attributes,’ 8vo, London, 1822. 2. ‘Mental Discipline, or Hints on the Cultivation of Intellectual Habits, addressed particularly to Students in Theology and Young Preachers,’ 8vo, London, 1822, and other editions. 3. ‘Lectures on the Pleasures of Religion,’ 8vo, London, 1823, 12mo, Philadelphia, 1839, &c. 4. ‘Lectures on the Essentials of Religion, personal, domestic, and social,’ 8vo, London, 1825. 5.
